Stress starts to set in . . .

Usually when I get into a project of course the house suffers. This time was not an exception. We had so many other things going on, plus the dress making project, school, etc. For almost two solid weeks we had some scheduled thing to attend. I can push the declining house off for a while, but then all of a sudden it jumps up and smacks me in the face . . . I start seeing not only the large every day messes, but every single little detail that is out of place. Then I start being a very difficult person to be around (to put it nicely) so, tonight I was trying my best to not say anything and I had just planned to dig in and start the major clean up and laundry service, but my poor husband, who had just gotten home the previous night from working 2 or 3 16hr days, had to ask me what was wrong. Big mistake! You'd think he'd learn by now. The fact that you could loose a shoe, and definately a sock on our kitchen floor seemed to escape him, and the 4 baskets of laundry that I personally folded two weeks ago which had never made it to their drawers was running low, we had science co-op tommorrow, I had a Bible Study I needed to study for, a hand towel seemed to be the only clean thing left in the bathroom closet . . . and he had to ask if something was wrong. Mmmmmm. . . . .

So, I decided that he should go to bed to get a good nights sleep, and I would just have to stay up all night to get caught up on everything, because I was the only one I could count on . . . and a few other not very nice things probably came spouting out.

Anyway, I ended up finaling getting to watch an awesome show Jon and Kate plus eight . This is such a great show. It really gives one some perspective. I will elaborate on it more at a later date, but, it is a show worth watching.

Maggie just woke up crying, so I've got to go now.
